Step 1: Do the following reading and complete the chart, and the activities. Do you want to
become a professional soccer player? Soccer is the most popular sport in Colombia. Young
kids from all over the country dream of becoming professional soccer players, and they
want to play in the best soccer teams such as Millonarios, Santa Fe, Deportivo Cali,
National and Junior.
What’s it like playing at the top level of this sport?
Being a professional soccer player like Jackson Martinez is hard but very rewarding work.
It takes time and efforts to join a team. Soccer players need a lot of energy, and they need
to be very fit. They never stop training; they do gym work every day and have a training
session in the morning that lasts 90 minutes, they go to their rooms to sleep for 2 hours and
then they go back to another training session in the afternoon. The best players will get
selected for to join the Colombian national team by coach Pekerman.

enjoyed every moment there. On Wednesday, the first day I was landing in Riohacha’s
airport at 1:00 pm, I had lunch there in Riohacha and I spent the whole day around. At 3:00
pm I was eating friche in the main park, it is delicious. Then around 3:30 pm I was going to
know the place and to buy some souvenirs, around 7:00 pm that day I was doing the check-
in in the hotel, it is a wonderful hotel, with a swimming pool and excellent service. On
Thursday I was waking up really early, I was very excited because I was going to travel to
Cabo de la Vela, it is around 3 hours from Riohacha by bus. There in Cabo de la Vela, the
landscapes are really beautiful, I stopped for a minute and I was drinking a delicious juice
in a Rancheria in front of the sea. Then I continued walking and I stopped again in the
Arcoiris beach an amazing place full of sand colors and very calm, finally, for that day, I
went to ojo del agua beach, where I was enjoying of calm and crystal waters to swim, after
that, I went to sleep in a Rancheria, it is a real and marvelous experience. On the last day,
on Friday I was visiting the Faro, the most tourist place in Cabo de la Vela and I was
running because I also wanted to visit Punta Gallinas, before coming back and I did it.
There in Punta Gallinas I was knowing the Taroa Dunes where is amazing to see the sand
